Does that resolve the TODO? It sounds if any remaining whitespace
character recognition issue should be fixed in
BUnicodeChar::IsWhitespace() instead now? Or is it an MBCS issue with
currentChar?
AFAIK Chinese sentences normally don't use any space characters. Since each symbol usually denotes a word, I guess wrapping is fine virtually anywhere. No idea if there are special rules for punctuation characters or proper 
names made up of multiple symbols.
In Japanese there are full-width and half-width spaces in addition to the ASCII space. I would assume the full-width character to be used for Chinese as well, if any. Judging by www.google.com.hk (Traditional Chinese, I guess) it seems you're right, the only horizontal spacing is from the punctuation characters.
